Bacha XII (Bacha TBD TBD TBD ish Zhifol; DAY MONTH 2148 – DAY MONTH 2233) was a member of the House of Zhifol who reigned as King of Qym from DAY MONTH 2190 until his 75th birthday on DAY MONTH 2223, when he automatically abdicated the throne as required by the Fundamental Law of Qym he promulgated in 2193.
Bacha brought about lasting reforms to the state, maintaining its authority and primacy despite the growing republican movement following the Prugundian Revolution in 2174. Throughout his reign, Qym underwent significant reforms, which made Bacha the founding father of contemporary Qymish institutions. In this sense, the Bachan legal reforms, including the Fundamental Law of 2193, strengthened individual liberties and the equality of citizens before the law, thus making important compromises in order to retain royal absolutism in Qym. Civil administration was reorganized, with the nobility losing most of its historic privileges, while simultaneously decentralizing certain royal powers to better address regional differences. Similarly, a new currency emerged, the Lach, and the Royal Bank of Qym was established.
Militarily, his reign was less successful, with Qym being on the losing monarchist side of the Prugundian Civil War, which ended in 2192. He then entered into a prolonged conflict with Thyon which lasted most of his reign and ended in a stalemate. Despite this, domestic economic growth and political stability guaranteed him a place among the best kings in Qymish history according to general public perceptions and historians alike.
